Burlap and linen and lace…OH MY!

Wrapping Christmas presents has always been one of my favorite things. When I was a little girl I would help my mom wrap all the Christmas presents…even the ones that were for me! Yup, you read that right. I would wrap my own Christmas presents. After I was done wrapping everyone else’s gifts I was still hungry for more, so my mom would put my gifts in non-descript boxes so the wrapping party didn’t have to end. I swear I never peaked..I love being surprised too much! To this day I love wrapping Christmas presents. Here’s a look at last years gifts. This year I got a lot of inspiration from Summer of Grey Likes Weddings who was featured over at Style Me Pretty and photographed by my friend Jenny Liu.

I was *this close* to buying a really cute sweater knit wine bottle holder from Etsy for $25. Summer also showed a great tutorial for making your own out of an old sweater! I saved $25 and I recycled! So let’s start with showing how cute that turned out. Oh and the dramatic lighting on this first shot is due to lack of available natural light before I had to wrap this beauty up!

I’m not sure if I’ve ever shown a full length picture of my cement “product” table that my dad made…you can see it below on the left. I love it so much!

So, as I was wrapping the adult, sophisticated gifts, Mike helped me out by wrapping the little kids gifts. He thought he did a pretty good job and suggested that we let you guys decide who did a better job. What do you think? ;)
